    Looking for a better Solidworks Toolbox?

    You can add to the Toolbox database as you go along. It takes a little bit of work and a willingness to dive into the access database, but it's very do-able. I've actually done it myself and added a castle nut configuration just to see if it was possible...

    Multiple arrays in a nested for loop?

    Well, I had considered that, but this is part of a code to work a modified Grahm-Schmidt (not sure if I spelled that right) process. I didn't see any way to perform the calculations after grabbing all the values without having individual arrays.

    Multiple arrays in a nested for loop?

    Haha, yeah, I got caught up in the ease of using it. I figured it out though using cell arrays. I didn't know you could do something like: for i = 1:num_arrays x{i}=data(:,i) end This makes actually doing a transpose easier than trying to figure out how to get " ' " to read correctly...

    Multiple arrays in a nested for loop?

    Okay, so I've got this far with the code: num_arrays = input('Specify the number of arrays'); length_array = input('Specify the number of rows in the array'); for i = 1:num_arrays for j = 1:length_array temp = input(['Enter data for array ', num2str(i), ', element ', num2str(j)...

    Multiple arrays in a nested for loop?

    Hey guys, I've tried searching for this but haven't been able to find it. It's been a little since I've done anything relevant in MATLAB and I've run into a little problem with my code. My problem is that I want a program to grab an input for a number of vectors and then I want that program to...

    SolidWorks Toolbox and the access database questions

    Well, no interest so far in customizing the toolbox access database and inserting parts into the actual toolbox menu. I'll keep posting though just in case someone looking for the same type of SolidWorks customization happens across this thread. Here's a (sloppy) model of my castle nut with...

    SolidWorks Toolbox and the access database questions

    Alrighty guys, so it is possible. If anyone is interested I'm going to retrace my steps here and see if I can't come up with some sort of logical flow chart as to how I got to this point. It's still a little messy, and I'm still toying around with relationships and everything, but I do now have...

    SolidWorks Toolbox and the access database questions

    Sorry, I don't know how to do multiple screen shots with one post, here's the error I'm getting.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=23e09245-aa03-4db3-a4fc-291b43dc70f0&file=Database_error.PNG

    SolidWorks Toolbox and the access database questions

    Hey guys, thanks for the responses, unfortunately none really address my question. I went ahead and did a little more poking around and basically have tried to copy a current database part in the hopes of dissecting how this thing references. Being completely new (as in never having opened) to...

    Flat pattern in a multi body part

    Gurjjeet, First, I'm a little jealous that you get to play with the multi-bodied sheet metal parts within 2010, my company hasn't made the switch yet, so I'm not too sure how much of a help my suggestions will be. I've seen flat patterns drop off of the view palette before, and typically just...

    SolidWorks Toolbox and the access database questions

    Hey guys, So I've been poking around for a little now and have failed to turn up a good source of information for this. The SolidWorks toolbox doesn't contain every nut/bolt/whizbang out there so I've been looking into expanding it under my own standard. I've gone ahead and copied a standard...

    Hole tolerance to a certain depth

    1.7.3 looks like it does the trick. I actually just ended up taking a section of the hole, drawing the first portion at its lower limit and the second portion at its upper limit so it would be clear what diameter and length I was dimensioning, then just adjusted the tolerances accordingly. The...

    Hole tolerance to a certain depth

    Hey guys, I've got an interesting question here. I've got a 2.500-2.503" hole that needs to hold that tolerance through a depth of 6.625", after that the tolerance can loosen up to 2.50-2.53", at least, to a depth of 6.875". Is there a specific way to illustrate this on the drawing, or is this...

    Alphabetize configlist in SolidWorks

    Hey guys, this is spun off another thread that I started over in the SolidWorks forum, though I'm not sure this is the exact correct place to ask this question. I'm currently developing a macro within SolidWorks and have run into a slight irritant. It seems that SolidWorks orders configuration...

    Configuration manager alphabetizing configurations

    That's what I was afraid of. My only problem with that is SolidWorks registers the configuration at whatever number it was created, not where it sits in the list. For example, (aside from Default) if I make a configuration called F and then a configuration called B, F is considered configuration...

    Configuration manager alphabetizing configurations

    So I've been searching for a little for a way to change this option, but have had no luck. Either it's buried somewhere in some hidden menu, or it's a registry tweak, or it just doesn't exist. When I create a new configuration within a part, SolidWorks is automatically alphabetizing the...
